Wedding venues can be quite pricey, but with a little research, you can find a great place for a great price! Did you know that many public spaces, like parks or the local village green, may be available to rent at a low fee? How about renting someones space, like a friend who has a beautiful property or search online for private space rentals. Recently we came across shareyourspace.com and found a ton of great places to rent on the cheap!

Outdoor weddings and receptions are one of the hottest trends we saw in 2014, and with a little research they don’t have to be expensive. Check local schools and parks, like the Brattle Lawn at Wesley University. They rent the lawn on weekends for a much lower cost that most venues.

Having a smaller more intimate reception? Research loft spaces for daily rental. Loft spaces are more easily found in cities, and if you are located close to a larger metro area, this may be the perfect spot!

Looking for a unique outdoor property or grounds? Check out Craigslist’s Housing section under Vacation Rentals. These properties are usually rental only and by pitching your idea to them, they may just offer you an amazing price! Take a peek at this property in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Check out the airbnb website and search for elegant properties like this one found in Washington state. This estate not only allows you to use their grounds but sleeps up to 16 people, so nobody has to go home….and at the price of $850 for the stay, for the whole group. WOW! How can you beat that??
